Labor conflicts in commercial and industrial companies in Ecuador

Abstract

In order to have a broad vision on labor disputes, it was necessary to conduct research in two companies that demonstrated problems in its operation, research carried out at the production plant of wooden furniture "El Laurel" and the food marketer "La Enough ”, the same ones that had more than fifty employees among office workers, service personnel, operators and workers, which are located in the city of Riobamba, province of Chimborazo, Republic of Ecuador. To obtain all kinds of information in labor relations, a work schedule and a questionnaire were prepared to separate the types of conflicts that were called “Conflicts between Employers”, “Conflicts between Employers and Workers” and “Conflicts among the Workers ”, as José Dávalos selects them in his book. From all the information collected, it was necessary to structure the Problem Tree, an instrument used in Strategic Planning and from this the Objective Tree could be prepared, which clearly and in detail visualized the conflicts existing in the two companies of our investigation, whose result gave us that there were a series of legal infractions, violating the Companies Law and the Labor, Civil and Criminal Codes, before which legal and administrative advice was provided, and of this In this way, it was possible to legalize the companies, establish norms and fundamentally socialize certain mandates to correct the behavior of all the members of the companies in order to seek their harmony and consequently the stability and organizational development.
